How to dynamically call methods within a class using method-name assignment to a variable [duplicate]

Question

class MyClass:     def __init__(self, i):         self.i = i      def get(self):         func_name = 'function' + self.i         self.func_name() # <-- this does NOT work.      def function1(self):         pass # do something      def function2(self):         pass # do something 

This gives the error: TypeError: 'str' object is not callable

How would I go about doing this?

Note: self.func_name also does not work

Answer 1

def get(self):       def func_not_found(): # just in case we dont have the function          print 'No Function '+self.i+' Found!'       func_name = 'function' + self.i       func = getattr(self,func_name,func_not_found)        func() # <-- this should work!
